There is virtually no scenario in which 3.6 million pounds of radioactive waste could pose a public-safety or economic threat to people who live miles away from the shuttered San Onofre nuclear plant, utility officials and federal regulators said Wednesday. “The bottom line is that no credible ......

For decades, before they were closed, the nuclear power plants in Rowe and in Vernon, Vt., were closely and constantly overseen by inspectors of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Similarly, the decommissioning of those plants follows rules and procedures dictated by the NRC to ensure the radioactive contamination that for the most part was contained for years within the plants...

Since Entergy Nuclear announced in 2013 it would shutter the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant in Vernon, Vt., which it deemed no longer an economic asset, debate has centered around three issues: what to do with the high-level nuclear waste stored on-site; whether the decommissioning fund is adequate for restoring the site to a usable state; and how to deal with the loss of what...

Excerpts from the Aug. 9, 2018 CEP meeting in Oceanside, CA
“I may not have a job tomorrow for what I\'m about to say, but that\'s fine. Because I made a promise to my daughter that if no one else talked about what happened on Friday, that I would.”
With those words, David Fritch, an observer for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issues assigned to the San Onofre nuclear power plant site began his public statement at the August 9, 2018 Community Engagement Panel meeting in Oceanside, California.
Mr. Fritch went on to describe an incident he had observed on August 3rd during the loading of a heavy canister containing deadly radioactive materials into a silo just yards above the beach at the plant site. Many believe that what he reported narrowly missed resulting in a damaged or ruptured canister that could have caused a major nuclear disaster on the Southern California coast, potentially affecting the entire state and nation.
He went on to describe a lax safety culture at the Southern California Edison-run facility that includes employment of poorly trained workers, the discouragement of voicing safety concerns, and the cover-up of incidents like the one he had just observed.
Later in the meeting, Donna Gilmore, a retired systems analyst and founder of SanOnofreSafety.org, charged that the company was violating its Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license because of its admitted inability to repair, open or replace a damaged nuclear waste canister as NRC regulation requires.
Public voices are now calling for a moratorium on further loading of t...

3-6 foot Fun Waves at Old Man\'s Beach in the San Onofre State Park
Fun mid-sized waves produced from a West Swell touched shore in the last week of February. On this day at Old Man\'s Beach, there were multiple peaks working. The middle and inside sections were also really fun.
One of the only bummers at a surf spot like this is that there are a lot of people not using leashes. So you unexpected logs bouncing at you.
At the end of the video I zoom in on the \"Church\" (the next point to the north). You can see 5 dudes dropping in on one wave.
This El Nino winter has brought a bunch of sizable waves to California.
